You sit down to do your makeup, got a plan all laid out...You can see it in your mind....all the beautiful blending and contrast between shimmer and matte. Perfectly defined lashes.....And then you start on it and you realize it's a total freakin FAIL!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAI had that problem this morning. Mind you, I'm doing my face at work like I always do...and I get to the final blending stage and

It's amazing what you find in your purse when you actually look thru it lol. Stuck in a zipper pocket I came across this:I couldnt tell you what collection this came from if I tried. I bought it off Ebay for like $10 from a seller I frequent. I have another one from the same collection I believe (Odd bits), but that's probably buried in my vast makeup drawers at home. I recall why I wasn't a big

Ok yes, this particular entry isn't makeup related, but it still falls in the beauty category lol.I've been playing with the idea of weightloss and these same 20 lbs for about 2 years now. I keep losing & stopping, and having to start over. I'm tired of starting over. I just want to be done with it, make the lifestyle changes and stick to them so that they become habits just like all the bad

So today I decided to do my face this morning. A lot of times it doesn't happen. I barely get my brows taken care of, much less anything else lol....But in going thru my purse I came across one of the many quads that now reside in there. So I thought I'd give Ms. Shadowy Lady quad a run thru. I always have this one with me but very rarely use it. I have no idea why since I really do like it. I

I walk in the kitchen and on the counter I see a Revlon lipgloss.The dining room table has a box from Sephora with stuff still in it (I dont even know what).....Next to the television are 3 lip liners and a clear brow gel.......I don't even want to talk about the drawers in the bathroom, the table in my bedroom, the 3 drawer storage unit in the hall or all the stuff in my closet.I HAVE TOO MUCH

Happy Friday my pretties!I don't think I've mentioned this, but I recently got back on my weight loss journey. I took a slight detour that lead me down a road of overabundance of wine, hot wings and doritos..(yassss gurl yasssss), but it's time to get that back on track. One part of this process is I take a waterpill daily.....which of course increases your need to drink more water as well as

Hey my pretties!It's summer time....time for fun in the sun, hitting the beach and going on vacations....But sometimes we forget certain important things. I was doing my makeup this weekend and wanted a heavier foundation because I was going for a certain look, and I needed that perfectly matte & flawless skin....Once I finished my foundation and looked in the bathroom mirror under that crazy

Good morning Pretties!As many of you know already, I'm somewhat of a brush whore.....In my mind, you can never have too many, and I am definitely living up to that expectation lol.While in IMATS I stumbled upon this booth kinda stuck back in the cut....couldnt really tell what was going on there, all I saw were bright yellow handles. Upon further investigation (and dragging Trinity, aka

So what's on my favorite things? Do you have the time because my list is LONGGGGGGG haha.....But for today, I'm picking my current must have tool. It's the thing right now I have to make sure I have with me if I plan on doing my makeup away from home because of the difference it can make in my mascara life. For you my pretties, I introduce:The eyelash definer!!! Ah yes....if you ever wanted to

Hey my pretties! So today I thought I'd give the new Maybelline mascara a total run for its money and see what happens. The first time I tried it I was just messing around so I wasn't really paying much attention to the details of the product. Maybelline claims their Falsies Volume Express Mascara will give you a false lash look without the actual hassle of wearing them. Now just so you know, I

Last night on Twitter a discussion was happening between one of the top MUA's out there (KJBennet) and some random dude. The random guy feels that makeup somehow is detrimental to a woman's self confidence and self worth, and that any one that wears it or applies it must be shallow and hate their own 'natural' beauty...... o_ONow, I'm known as the resident peace maker. I will state my opinion

Ok ok I know...don't shoot me. It's been forever and 2 days since I've updated my blog....I would love to blame it on being busy but instead, it's on being lazy. I'm working on that.When I was at IMATS (still need to blog on that one lol), I bought a LOT of stuff.....I could've easily bought more but my bank account advised me otherwise lol. Anyway, one of the things I did pick up was the Model

Everywhere....nowhere....just floating around...not really in the mood to blog. But don't fret, I see a change in the horizon! I see colors! I see reviews and tutorials!I see in depth coverage of IMATS in my near future!I can feel a review of Grumpy Girl Candle Company coming up!I heard there will be a review of Hairaddictonline.com for all my hair wearing divas!So put your feet up, refill your

So I love, love, LOVE Urban Decay Primer Potion. When I was younger I never wore shadow because it wouldnt stay on my lids...gotta love a dry face and oily lids. Anyway.....one day I stumbled upon the likes of that pretty purple genie bottle...So cute!! So girly!! Such a stupid bottle!!! Even with the change of the wand it doesnt really help all that much in getting all that other product out of

I have all of the Quadrisets from Harajukuhunnies now....My beautiful Twitter Twin Twin Trinity looked out for me on the Coconut girl wheel...It was selling like hotcakes but I got the very last one! These Quadrisets are very pigmented and easy to work with. I love them so much. You should definitely look into getting your hands on them when they are back in stock! Eyes:Heavenly Naturals Eye

I have a good friend named Dede that is the epitome of tomboy: no makeup, EVER...always in jeans and a Tshirt rocking a ponytail. However, because she loves me, she let me play with her face and make her up girly. I asked what her fave color was and she said blue, so I went for it! The lighting is so bad in my apartment that I always get such crappy pics but, hopefully they came out nice!Eyes:

Seems like all the NYE looks are silver, blue or gold this year....well I didnt feel like following the trends...and besides, I have these beautiful pigments from Pure Luxe Cosmetics that I just happened to forget about lol, so I thought I'd play with them to see what I ended up with. Again excuse the brows....I have major tweezing to do this weekend!Hope you like it!Stay Pretty!! :-)Products:

If you follow me on Twitter then you know today was not a good day for me...My tummy's been all sorts of wrong all day, which has caused me not to eat for the most part, other than some Honey Nut Chex Mix...... So I came home and rested, but soon found myself bored and needed something to do...what a better time to play with makeup!As soon as I get started, my mother starts texting me....at least

So I know us ladies (and some gents out there as well) spend a lot of money on looking good. From perfume to makeup, clothes and shoes, we'd go broke if we didn't handle our responsibilities first...and sometimes we will even let those slip for a moment lol.But I want to lend my hand at helping all of us get a little more bang for our buck! I'm out to find all the ways we can keep some of that

I have met some amazing people on Twitter in the time I've beenon there that have really improved my life. It's weird how you can make friends with people from across the world and really connect with them.One night in blogtv with QueenBMakeup someone coined the phrase "Fexi"...which stands for 'Fat and Sexy"..because really, anyone that thinks Skinny=Sexy needs to take another look at the world.
